I've been reading about great noise reduction that nowdays cameras have, lens correction etc.So when I shoot raw non of these is applied to my photos, right?

What is your workflow with Lightrom in regard to importing photos? Do you activate lens correction for every photo you import? Can this be done during the import process itself, I couldn find that option in Import dialog?I know one can do it afterwards by synchronizing all photos in folder, but what if the photos are not from the same lens.What are the other little tweak you do before you start working on photo in Lightroom or later on in Photoshop?

I'd suggest that you buy or bowwor a good book on Lightroom. There are many very subtle things that are easy to miss using a learn as you go method, or by asking on forums.I generally apply lens corrections as I import along with different NR levels according to ISO. First set the import parameters in preferences, then tweak settings in a image for a particular ISO level, This can include NR, lens correction, and many other settings. Now select Develop/Set Default Parameters and save the parameters for the selected camera model or even body at that ISO. Now, when you import a image, each image with that ISO from that camera will use the setting. You can also click reset for other images, and the parameters will be applied to that image if it was from the camera and ISO specified.It takes a few minutes, but you can setup parameters that differ by ISO and camera body, or make them all the same for a given camera model. If you have two 5D MK III's, you can optimize imports for each one. There are always small differences between cameras of the same model, and this will help make them more alike.

1) I dont apply presets on import2)i dont apply lens correction to every photo sometimes it makes the shot look wierd3) yes you can make a prest and apply that preset when importing4) if you edit one photo then copy settings select everything you want even lens correction the paste those settings to all the other photos, lens correction will be applied for the relevent lens for the shot not the lens from the first picture

tweaks i do all the timecheck highlights if ETTR then you normally have to pull down the highlights and white point check and set the black pointcheck and tweak the white balancetweak the exposure and contrast
